Personal

This section of the application form will only be used for employment purposes and will not be considered when processing your application for allocation to a foundation school. If you are allocated to a foundation programme the details in this section will be passed to your employer.

The information you will be asked to provide includes:

Your personal contact details (name, address, email, telephone numbers)

Date of birth

Country of birth

National Insurance Number – if you do not have this yet you can leave the field blank, however this should be applied for soon. See information online about how to apply for a National Insurance number.

An indication of whether you wish to be considered for less than full-time training (LTFT) once you are allocated to a foundation school and start employment. If you select “No” at application stage on Oriel, you can still change your mind later, and can discuss this further with your allocated foundation school.

Note, that all applicants (for any training specialty/programme) who are registered on Oriel are automatically assigned an exam ID number by the system.  However, applicants for the 2025 Foundation Programme are not required to sit an exam or SJT, and therefore this exam ID number will never be used for anything.  The number will appear in your profile and dashboard in Oriel but can be ignored.

You can amend your personal details and contact details at any point, including after submission of your application through your dashboard on Oriel.

1) In the right hand corner of the screen select ‘My Profile’.

2) You will be presented with the profile options menu, select ‘Contact details’ from the left-hand navigation menu.

3) In the right hand corner of the screen, select the ‘edit profile information’ button.

4) You will be prompted to re-enter your password.

5) You can then edit the information that you wish to amend, finally click on the ‘Save’ button which is on the right hand corner of the screen.
